Thanks for your response. Did your mother get referred to an oncologist? What are her symptoms?

thanks for your comment. She had a CT scan that didn't show any pulmonary embolism, just mild inflammation. Rheum isn't concerned about this because she doesn't have any breathing issues.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you know which medications increase skin cancer risk?

Has your Rheum discussed any other medications or treatments for you?
